'16 Goals:

The Walking Dead series says it best. FIGHT THE DEAD. FEAR THE LIVING.

MAX Brooks has a lot of suggestions in THE ZOMBIE SURVIVAL GUIDE. He prefers a bicycle to almost any other mode of transportation. Its quiet, doesnt need fuel, not impossible to carry over small distances and if it becomes a hindrance you can just leave it.

I have never used one, but I wonder if a MoPed would be better. Cant you peddle those as well?

I hadnt really thought of this, but heat / humidity / hills would also be a huge factor in outrunning a zombie. Every zombie scenario seems to agree that they dont get tired. They may be fast or slow, but pain / endurance are not an issue for them.

In the past, I thought "I could just keep jogging down this trail and Id outrun them" - That still might work, since one side of the trail is next to a steep cliff and a river. Id mainly have to watch one side.

Theres another possibility. I know some high altitude runners. And trail runners. They would probably have the most advantage over a Zed.

Zombie apocalypse

DAY 1: half of humanity infected

DAY 2: Badwater Endurance record falls to Zed . . . who is later disqualified for chewing on other racers outside the bounds of official water stations.

I saw that Venn diagram earlier and chuckled...and I haven't even read the book. I forget who it was I was talking to in the last couple of days who said they thought WWZ would make a good TV show or mini-series...with each episode covering 1 entry in the book. Given the crazy success of The Walking Dead I'm sorta surprised that this approach was not taken.

Nah, it was someone I talked to IRL either the day it came out or the day after. But clearly it's a a thought that's been on the minds of many. Perhaps the movie was simply a sort of test release to see if there's general interest in extending the franchise to TV/cable.
